Robert Hagans W4SOG |
| Board Member |
| I first became an airborne radio operator in 1948. I got my Conditional Class license in 1950 as W4SOG and have held Greek, German and Bahamian licenses. I let my Conditional license expire after five years and in 1988 got another license as N4PZN while working in the Bahamas. When authorized I recovered my old call of W4SOG. I spend a lot of time in the Ham Shack at the South Florida Since Center and I now serve as Volunteer Examiner. My main interest is to get others interested and licensed in amateur radio. |
